Public Speaking
As an author and journalist, I’ve appeared on a number of portals to discuss my work and process. I am also a Middle East expert and have appeared on a number of national and international TV programs, including Larry King Live, PBS’s Foreign Exchange with Daljit Dhaliwal, The Paula Zahn Show, CBS’s The Morning Show, Scarborough Country, BBC’s Up All Night, among others.
I’ve also been a public speaker on issues related to global media development, the Middle East, and citizen journalism, where I appeared in discussion panels in various places across the country, including the National Press Club, the National Endowment for Democracy, and the University of Wisconsin, among others.
